Hi nicanica, I hope to get more of a response from you than in your other thread.
Of course not. No-one's immune. Such is the human condition. Since you seem to be a relatively well informed person, I'm surprised that you don't already know this (or at least intuit it). That makes me think that the second part of your question:
...is a fairly unambiguous device to expose those who might hold double-standards. Would I be right?
You don't think that beliefs cause emotions? I believe you may have described your position poorly here and that disappoints me.
Seriously though, you need to think this point through as I don't understand how or why you link 'the propensity for atheists to use logical fallacies' with 'the cause of beliefs'. Maybe I'm missing something here or you need to rephrase for clarity.
